This week’s update covers a couple of key points around logging and Service that are worth checking as you continue your Award.
Logging your hours
Log each session as you do it where possible (the ORB app makes this easy)
If you do 1 hour each week, log it weekly
If you do a longer session (e.g. 8–12 hours in a day), that’s fine – log it as one entry
You can log monthly if needed, but the entries should still be accurate and reflect what you actually did
Clear, accurate logs also help the ORB calculator work properly.
Does your service meet a genuine community need?
Your Service should meet a genuine community need.
It shouldn’t be for a business that makes a profit
It shouldn’t be for family or friends
You should be able to explain how your service is helping others
If you’re unsure about anything, just check in with us and ask — we’re happy to help
Your Quick Award Tip
The easiest way to stay on track is to log straight after your activity
— the ORB app makes it quick and easy.
